April is recognized as Sexual Assault Awareness Month. At STESA, we stay committed to our vision of a world where sexual violence is eliminated, where survivors are empowered, and where our culture is rooted in consent, respect, and education. Please join us at any of our events this month!
Raise the Bar – Town Hall
The Raise the Bar Coalition and UCSB’s Associated Students have collaborated to host a Town Hall aimed at addressing the issue of sexual assault in Isla Vista and exploring actionable solutions to create a safer community for everyone. This event will bring together a diverse group of campus and community stakeholders to discuss the current state of sexual assault prevention and ways to improve safety for all.
The Town Hall will provide an open space for students and residents to engage with a panel of experts and advocates from various organizations working to combat sexual violence in Isla Vista. There will also be a discussion designed to allow participants to voice their concerns, share personal experiences, and actively contribute to shaping a safer environment for our community.
By creating this forum, we aim to empower those affected by sexual assault to have their voices heard and work together toward meaningful change. The Town Hall will take place at the St. George Youth Center on April 23rd, from 5:00pm – 6:30pm. Sam’s To Go sandwiches will be provided before the event begins.
